^ Are you sure you have the new version?

And thanks Grunt. I'm just downloading the weather skins for now. The big clock takes up too much space and well you can't really have a nice homescreen with that thing on.

A few days back I spent two hours downloading and cropping wallpapers. Since the wallpapers were only gonna be spread across one screen, I cropped it at 800x480. All images wasted. Stupid Android. Jab homescreen he aik rakhni hai to what's the point of having a larger wallpaper?

guys can you help me create a locksreen something like this

Spoiler: show



the slider is a theme for widgetlocker...that is where i found the image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968613&page=2


t
he temperature and battery is minimalistic text i guess...easy

time and date isnt an issue as well.

the thing is the icons on the top...they probably aren't too hard to make and im sure there is an app for it, the problem is i cant find a way to change the icons on the widgetlocker tool mode screen.

on my homescreen i would just long press the icon and the edit option show up but no such option here.
so is there a work around, or something.

I'm not sure what you mean here but that seems like SMS Unread Count widget with custom icons.

If you want the ability of placing a shortcut and changing its icon, then use Desktop Visualizer.

oh yea, those arent applications with custom icons, they are sms unread count widget...didnt know abt this app. thanks, problem solved.


btw i can change icons on my homescreen but on on the widget locker lock screen.

i use it instead of the default lock screen because it has custom slider options and more flexible in terms of modifying.
also lets me wake the screen up using the camera button which feels more durable than the power button.

Done with my setup for now, next one probably when I am free (which will probably be rare from next month)

Changed the lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper in this one as well as the dock, also I've setup widgets on the remaining 4 homescreens and all of them are transparent.I can post full screen shots of them if anyone wants.

forgot one thing, the screenshot for the lockscreen isn't the latest, the bobclock is now purple instead of "firozi"

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
